Ryan Dall enters 

his fourth year as the 


head Track & Field and 

Cross Country coach. 

He is quickly building 

a program that can 

compete both in the 

Lone Star Conference 

and nationally. The 

Javelina men’s track 

program is primed 

for a big year in 2012 

while the women’s 

track and both cross country programs will be much 

improved. 

Dall was named the LSC Men’s Track & Field Coach 

of the Year for the second straight season in 2011 

after leading the men to a third place finish at the 

conference championships hosted by Tarleton State. 

The team was ranked in the top 25 for the entire 

season and reached a high of #10 on two occasions. 

At the national meet, the team picked up 13 points 

to finish in 21st. Jonathan Woodson was a three-time 

All-America during the season earning one indoors 

and two outdoors. Dall had six men earned allconference 

honors and seven earn all-region honors 

during the outdoor season. Kiya Dandena broke his 

own records in the indoor 3,000 and 5,000 meters 

while Woodson set the school record in the indoor 

200 meters. 

The women’s program is also improving under 

Dall, but at a slower pace than the men’s. However, 

Samantha Alvarez who finished as the national 

runner-up in the high jump turned in the highlight 

of the entire 2011 season. Her performance gave 

the Javelinas a tie for the most points at the national 

meet by any LSC program. Dall had a pair of studentathletes 

earned Academic All-District and LSC All- 

Academic Team honors. 

After a year to recruit, Dall’s team showed 

dramatic improvement in 2010 and he was rewarded 

by being named the LSC Men’s Track & Field Coach of 

the Year. The men’s team was ranked in the top 25 for 

most of the season and reached #15 heading into the 

National Championships. They had five athletes earn 

All-America recognition during the outdoor season 

and one during the indoor season. 

The men and women each finished in fourth place 

at the LSC Championships hosted by Angelo State 

in 2010. Dall had three individuals win conference 

titles and five named to the all-conference squad. 

Two other individuals took LSC All-Academic honors. 

During the indoor season Dandena set school records 

in the 3,000 and 5,000 meters while C.J. Griggs set the 

school record in the triple jump. 

In Dall’s first year in charge of the program it was 

a trial by fire. He was not hired until right before the 

start of the cross country season so he did not have 

a chance to recruit. Furthermore, he was charged 

with hosting the Lone Star Conference Championship 

meets for cross country and track. 

In his first year at the helm, Dall had a number of 

athletes set personal records. Distance runner Erica 

Alvarado set the school record in the indoor 5,000 

meters. He had two individuals earn all-conference 

honors. 

Dall, a 1999 University of Miami graduate, has 

extensive experience on the NCAA Division I level 

serving as an assistant coach at Duke for five years 

and at Florida International University for four years. 

Prior to his coaching career, he was the 1995 Big East 

Conference indoor and outdoor pole vault champion 

and finished in fourth place in the 1999 Big East 

decathlon. 

At Duke, Dall was responsible for the coaching and 

recruiting of male and female sprinters, hurdlers, pole 

vaulters and multi-event athletes. He was charged 

with the set-up of the Asics Duke Invitational Track 

and Field Meet, a 70-plus school invitational. He 

coached his athletes to 14 school records, six All-ACC 

awards, three IC4A champions, 17 All-IC4A awards, 

one ECAC champion and nine All-ECAC awards. He 

was the director of the Duke Pole Vault Camp. 

In his time at FIU, Dall coached and recruited pole 

vaulters, hurdlers, throwers, high jumpers and multievent 

athletes. He worked with two All-Americans in 

the high jump and javelin, an NCAA Championship 

qualifier in the 60-meter hurdles, four conference 

champions and over 20 all-conference performers. He 

also worked with the cross country team. 

Dall is a member of the United States Track and 

Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, the 

National Pole Vault Coaches Association and the IC4A 

Coaches Association. He is Level Two USATF certified 

in sprints and hurdles.

In 2011, the Javelina track & field program took 

another step forward with both the men and women 

having All-Americans for the first time since 2006. 

The Javelina men were ranked in the USTFCCCA Top 

25 all season long and reached the top 10 on two occasions. 

The season concluded at the NCAA Division II 

national championships hosted by Cal State-Stanislaus 

in Turlock, CA. There was a contingent of six athletes 

at the national meet and each came home with All- 

America honors. 

Sophomores Jonathan Woodson and Samantha 

Alvarez were the MVP’s for the men’s and women’s 

programs, respectively. 

Woodson set the school record in the indoor 

200-meter dash and earned All-America honors in the 

event during the indoor and outdoor seasons. He finished 

the year with another All-America honor when 

he anchored the 4x100-meter relay team that had a 

top time of 39.98. He also earned five all-region citations 

during the year. 

Alvarez had an unbelievable season that was 

punctuated by a national Runner-Up finish in the high 

jump. It was the best finish by a Javelina woman at 

the outdoor national championships since Patricia 

Rivers won the 200-meter dash in 1991. In addition 

to her national meet success, she was named the 

Lone Star Conference Field Athlete of the Week, three 

times, LSC Field Athlete of the Year, LSC All-Academic 

Team, First Team Capital One Academic All-District VI 

and USTFCCCA All-Region. 

The Javelina men’s team capped off a strong season 

with a third place finish at the Lone Star Conference 

Championships hosted by Tarleton State. It was 

the best finish for the team since 2006. Head Coach 

Ryan Dall was named the LSC Men’s Coach of the Year 

for a second straight season. 

The relay team of Anthony Washington, Norman 

Thompson, Sergio Rios and Woodson ran a season 

best time of 3:11.83 to defeat rival Angelo State for 

the first time. Woodson ran a 46-second final leg to 

erase the ASU lead and give the team a victory. 

The Javelinas did very well in the sprints and 

picked up some key points from Kiya Dandena in the 

5,000 and 10,000 meters and Trent Hesseltine in the 

high jump. Dandena took second place in both events 

to give him a total of 16 points in the meet. Hesseltine 

was unable to defend his high jump title, but cleared 

a career best 6-9.75 to take third place and provisionally 

qualify for nationals. 

20 20 


The 4x100-meter relay team of Washington, Tommy 

Singletary, Tim Price and Woodson took second 

place in a time of 40.62, just .05 behind Abilene Christian. 

Washington took third place in the 400 meters in 

a time of 48.25. Singletary added a sixth place finish 

in the 100 meters in a time of 10.55. 

Price and Woodson were the stars on the track 

for the team. Price picked up three silver medals after 

taking second in the 100 and 200 meters. He ran 

season best times of 10.29 to automatically qualify for 

nationals in the 100 and a 20.92 in the 200. Woodson 

took third in the 200 in a time of 21.15 and fourth in 

the 100 with a season best time of 10.47. 

The Javelina women finished in eighth place 

overall at the LSC Championships after losing at least 

11 points due to disqualifications in two events that 

would have put the team in sixth place. Angelo State 

won the meet for the third straight year with 197 

points while Abilene Christian was second with 168.5 

and West Texas A&M third with 96. 

Alvarez got the day started on the right foot for 

the team as she set a personal record in the javelin 

with a toss of 126-8. It was good enough for fifth 

place in the event. She came back two hours later 

and took third in the high jump with a personal best 

clearance of 5-8.5 which is only a quarter inch under 

the NCAA Division II automatic qualifying mark. She 

finished the meet with 18 points to lead the team. 

Brittany Stafford was strong in both the 200 and 

400-meter dashes taking fourth place in each. In the 

200, she improved upon her career best time with 

a run of 24.83. In the 400, she went out strong and 

finished in 58.66. 

The trio of Alvarez, Amy Rabalais and Elvia Lopez 

took second, third and fifth, respectively in the pole 

vault. Alvarez cleared 11-0.75, Rabalais went 10-6.75 

and Lopez had a season best clearance of 9-1. 

In the throwing events, Katie Dugie and Christal 

Gonzales each picked up points for the Javelinas. 

Dugie nabbed fifth place in the shot put with a toss of 

44-0.75. Gonzales picked up a sixth place finish in the 

hammer throw with a distance of 128-1. 

For the season the track & field program received 

six all-conference, 18 all-region and six All-America 

awards.

Long known as a leader in intercollegiate athletics, 

the Lone Star Conference (LSC) is an innovative 

athletics conference which aims to provide a superior 

competitive experience for member institutions and 

to allow for comprehensive development of studentathletes 

through academic services and life skills 

programming. The LSC continues to build upon its 

proud history while intending to be recognized as the 

premier NCAA Division 

II conference 

in the nation. 

The league’s 

mission is to foster 

student participation 

and success 

among member institutions in Division II intercollegiate 

athletics as an integral part of each institution’s 

total educational program. The LSC strives for 

academic excellence, stresses involvement within the 

community, and prides itself in upholding traditions 

while continually seeking new opportunities to provide 

student-athletes with a unique and superior experience. 

The LSC - founded on April 25, 1931 - has developed 

from a five-team conference of Texas-based 

schools to an 11-member league that spans three 

states (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico). The 

conference membership recently changed with the 

departure of five Oklahoma schools following the 

2010-11 academic year. The league continues to 

assist its member institutions in the maintenance of 

intercollegiate athletic programs that are compatible 

with the highest standards of education and competitive 

sports. 

Throughout the league’s 80-year history, various 

institutions have competed under the LSC banner. 

Today, only Texas A&M University-Commerce (then 

East Texas State) remains from the original group that 

was formed in 1931 when North Texas State, Southwest 

Texas State, Sam Houston State and Stephen 

F. Austin withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate 

Athletic Association. 

The membership alignment has changed over the 

years, with current members having been added in 

each of the past six decades. Texas A&M-Kingsville 

(formerly Texas A&I) joined in 1954, followed by Angelo 

State in 1968 and Abilene Christian in 1973. 

Conference membership remained within the Texas 

borders until 1984 when Eastern New Mexico was 

admitted. Since then, the LSC has grown to include 

members from Arkansas and Oklahoma. 

Cameron (1988, 1996) was added near the outset 

of an expansion phase, while Texas Woman’s (1989) 

and previous members West Texas A&M (1986, 1993) 

and Tarleton State (1968, 1994) joined the league 

soon after. 

Midwestern State was admitted early in 1995, 

while the University of the Incarnate Word became the 

newest member in 2010. 

Past members of the LSC include Trinity, Houston, 

Lamar, Howard Payne, Sul Ross State, McMurry, 

Harding, Ouachita Baptist, Central Oklahoma, East 

Central (Okla.), Northeastern State (Okla.), Southeastern 

Oklahoma and Southwestern Oklahoma. 

With a more streamlined membership in place, the 

LSC will do away with divisional formats during the 

2011-12 athletic seasons. Dating back to the 1997-98 

academic year, the league was formed into two divisions 

- North and South - in football, volleyball, basketball, 

baseball and softball. Volleyball and baseball 

returned to playing without divisions in 2007-08, with 

football, basketball and softball set to go back to a 

one-conference model this year. 

While the LSC has maintained a long-standing 

tradition of competitive athletic programs for its members, 

many teams and individuals have gone on to 

distinguish themselves on the national stage. Entering 

2011-12, LSC member institutions have collected 74 

NCAA national championships since the league joined 

the Division II membership in 1982. Abilene Christian 

supplied the most recent additions to that total, capturing 

both the men’s indoor and outdoor track and 

field championships this past year. 

The LSC conducts conference championships 

in 16 sports (eight men and eight women). Men’s 

championships include football, soccer, cross country, 

basketball, baseball, track and field, tennis and golf. 

Women’s titles are determined in volleyball, soccer, 

cross country, basketball, softball, track and field, tennis 

and golf. 

The conference office is located in Richardson, 

Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. Stan Wagnon 

serves as Commissioner, with assistance from Jay 

Poerner (Compliance), Melanie Robotham (Media 

Relations) and Travis Whipple (Marketing and Broadcasting).

Javelinas Win LSC SAAC Cup, Again 

Student-athletes and administrators from all eleven Lone Star Conference member institutions met in Kingsville, Texas, July 

29-31, for the league’s sixth annual Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Summer Retreat). At a dinner banquet on Friday 

night, Texas A&M-Kingsville was awarded the LSC SAAC Cup for a second straight year. 

The LSC SAAC Cup was awarded to Texas A&M-Kingsville for their efforts during 2010-11. The purpose of the cup is to encourage 

participation in conference SAAC initiatives. The Javelinas earned the most points of any school throughout the year to earn 

the third-ever cup along with customized t-shirts. The Javelinas tallied 16,556 points, over 4,000 more than last year. Abilene 

Christian (11,608) and West Texas A&M (9,667) rounded out the top three schools. The award is based on involvement in six categories: 

LSC SAAC meetings, Campus SAAC meetings, Make-A-Wish, Community Service Month, other community service and the 

NCAA Legislative grid. 

The three-day event, which took place on the campus of Texas A&M-Kingsville, is intended to help improve communication 

amongst LSC SAAC groups and to help energize student-athletes with ideas and “best practices” to be implemented during the 

academic year. 

“We are very proud of our SAAC group,” said A&M-Kingsville Director of Athletics Kenneth Oliver. “They do an outstanding 

job of getting their teammates involved in community service events throughout the year and this year they collected enough 

money to grant a wish to a child in South Texas.” 

The participants arrived on Friday and met before having dinner, which was hosted by Dr. Steven Tallant, President of A&M- 

Kingsville, at Memorial Student Union Building due to possible inclement weather. 

The LSC SAAC group put together a community service event at the Student Recreation Center on Saturday morning. Then, 

they were able to tour the King Ranch before getting a chance to hit the beach in Corpus Christi. 

The event concluded on Sunday with meetings. Topics discussed during the retreat included NCAA SAAC, community service 

ideas, the LSC tagline, LSC SAAC Cup and how to be a good leader on and off campus. 

Ten of the LSC’s 11 member institutions were represented at the meeting. The student-athletes who attended the Summer 

Retreat were Abilene Christian’s Erin Gilliland, Brent Schroeder and David Pillen; Angelo State’s Kelsey Merritt and Alvin Johnson; 

Cameron’s Alexis Williams and Sharna Hoosier; Incarnate Word’s Danielle Suarez and Stephen Lucke; Midwestern State’s 

Megan Richardson; Tarleton’s Flynn Harrell and Hayden Eubanks; A&M-Commerce’s Devon Herrman and Larry Horn, Jr.; A&M- 

Kingsville’s Sherman Batiste, Beth Etter, Shonta Dobbins and Robert Guzman; Texas Woman’s Jordan Readicker and Chaynade 

Knowles; and West Texas A&M’s Erika Dupree and Thomas Harris. 

Also attending as advisors were ACU’s Ann Varner, ASU’s Stacy Duffell; CU’s Michelle Warner, UIW’s Mark Papich and Stacy 

Nordquist, MSU’s Kurt Portmann, Tarleton’s Mary Domine-Schindler, A&M-C’s Judy Sackfield, TAMUK’s Amanda Knight, TWU’s 

Charolette Hunt and WTAMU’s Courtney Lee.

Grande Valley and launch the new www.javelinaathletics.com web-site. 

Under his leadership multiple athletic facilities projects are in the process 

of being completed.

helped CMU have the largest enrollment in school history for four consecutive 

years. He also served on the National Administrative Council of 

the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. 

During Oliver’s coaching career, he coached seven (7) different 

All-Americans and eight (8) Academic All-Americans. His football special 

teams and defensive units hold a number of CMU and NAIA records. His 

2004 defensive unit is one of the best in CMU history and was nationally 

rated as one of the best defenses in 2004. That defensive unit had four 

All-Americans, led the nation in interceptions (33), takeaways (49) and 

turnover margin (+2.5 a game), was fourth in the nation for punt returns 

(14.6 yards per return) and set numerous school records. In 2003, the 

Heart of America Athletic Conference selected Oliver to serve as the 

defensive coordinator in the Heartland Classic Bowl Game in which the 

team from the HAAC defeated the team from the Great Plains Athletic 

Conference, 34-0. His 1999 special teams unit lead the nation in kickoff 

return average, set the NAIA return yardage record and produced an 

NAIA All-American. His 2000 and 2002 women’s golf teams finished 

fourth in the NAIA region V, which is the best in CMU history. 

Prior to CMU, Oliver was the assistant head football coach/defensive 

coordinator, head track coach and director of student-athlete 

retention at William Penn University. He also coached at Fort Scott 

Community College where he was the defensive/recruiting coordinator, 

assistant softball coach and the Director of the Greyhound Booster Club. 

At Northwest Missouri State University he was the running backs coach 

and the on-campus recruiting coordinator. 

Oliver has been an administrator of over twenty-five (25) conference 

and playoff tournaments at the NJCAA, NAIA and NCAA levels. 

Oliver has worked to strengthen the Javelinas’ identity, building 

a greater connection with the community of Kingsville. The athletic 

department is committed to continue the community engagement and 

service projects not only in Kingsville but in South Texas. In addition, 

he is a proud member of Lions Club, and is a board member of Keep 

Kingsville Beautiful, Navy League, Rotary, Boys and Girls Club, L.E. Ramey 

Golf Course and the Cactus Bowl. His wife (Michelle) is a member 

of the Navy League and is a board member of the Kleberg County Child 

Welfare Board. He and his wife reside in Kingsville with their son, Brady
